Not sure if this is possible, but I'm after some software that can self boot (from dvd or usb stick), and restore an image without much (if any?) interaction from the person thats put the disk/stick in a computer?

It's pretty easy with Ghost Platypus, although it can chuck a wobbler if the drive numbering in the target system changes at all .

How easy is easy? I'm thinking in terms of sending a dvd out with the image on, and asking someone who might have difficulty finding the dvd drive to run it.
 
Actually, thinking about it - I want to be able to send a self contained bootable image, eg not the original Ghost CD out with the image to remotely image computers in another office. Is that possible, or will it require the Ghost CD too?
 
Sorry, it's a mixture of XP/W7 machines I'd want to reimage.

Whole hard drive image (or could be partition image if it had to be for size issues).

Single drive unpartitioned at present.

Overwriting data isn't important it's backed up elsewhere.

What I need is a solution I can send to people to reimage their PC without having to send the Ghost cd out; is that possible?
 
Hmm on the OPK website (to build a technicians computer) it doesn't say it supports XP?

Sounds perfect though Ev0, I might have to fire you an email.
